I Design Unnecessary Things No One Asked For, This Time I Created A Coffee Table That’s Also A Jigsaw Puzzle

ADVERTISEMENT

Hello, hello, hello, my pandas! It is Matty here, your favorite evil genius who creates products to solve problems that simply do not exist. Be prepared to be pleasantly satisfied and yet wholly frustrated with the new Unnecessary Invention I have for you today.

Plus, after building 181 different inventions over the past year and a half, you can now FINALLY get your hands on this invention. Meet the Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table, which is now live and available on Kickstarter.

With 55 different wooden puzzle pieces, I guarantee you have never seen a coffee table like this before. Before you can enjoy this modern looking coffee table, you must first assemble the jigsaw puzzle surface. Take that, IKEA instructions!

You can check out my account on Bored Panda to see all of the Unnecessary Inventions I’ve created! You can check out my previous invention posts on Bored Panda here: part 1part 2part 3part 4part 5part 6part 7part 8part 9part 10part 11part 12part 13.

Comment down below with your idea for my next Unnecessary Invention that I should create!

    Hi, I’m Matty Benedetto, and let me introduce to you my new invention that I launched on Kickstarter

    This is the Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The first & only coffee table that you can’t actually use until you figure out the jigsaw puzzle surface!

    The table features 55 wooden puzzle pieces that make up the surface!

    And once you actually solve the entire jigsaw puzzle, you will finally have a working, modern-looking coffee table!

    However, you can only use the wood grain of the pieces to try and figure out where every single piece goes

    Actually, that’s not a bad idea – you always have a coaster!

    Each puzzle piece is securely placed on this grid base, so you can’t actually use the table until you solve the puzzle

    The only other challenge is to be sure not to lose any of the puzzle pieces

    How long do you think it would take you to solve it?!

    The Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table just launched on Kickstarter!

    The campaign was fully funded in only 90 minutes and the early bird specials are selling out! Click here to check out the campaign and secure your very own Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table!

    This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.

    Matty I absolutely love your unnecessary inventions, but most importantly I enjoy how your facial expressions tell me how essential this stuff is, and I should get them 😁 I always enjoy you as a model in your projects. Keep up your unnecessary good work ! ✌️

    I'm surprised that this is Matty's first mass-production venture IRL... I'll bet some of his other stuff would be amenable as well!

    This 'unnecessary invention' combines the two things I hate the most - self assembly furniture and jigsaws!! Lol!

    He is no longer creating unnecessary inventions, he is creating unnecessary problems 😂 I would absolutely buy this nevertheless

    Brilliant! I pay money to bring even more frustration into my life. On purpose. Does the term " evil genius " come up a lot in your conversations?

    Let me say this: this guy's a genius, and I hope he never uses it for evil purposes, like creating pointy shaped legos

    I've been watching your products for ages , and follow you on TikTok - this is the first time I'm learning your actual name, and not "the invention guy" haha I honestly think that a lot of your products could sell on a massive scale, but it's nice to see your creativity being available to other crazy people :) x x

    Then you get to keep it as your puzzle table for other puzzles... Why? Because why not.

    I can't even put together Ikea furniture so this might be a wee bit of a challenge. Really neat idea though!

    If you're going to use a piece as a coaster why not have cork backing and turn it over otherwise you may as well set the glass anywhere on the table.

    Only problem I have is your belief that it is an unnecessary piece. Anything that is able to bring beauty, frustration, satisfaction and joy while getting people to talk about something apart from the use of technology is EXTREMELY necessary. There are only so many women around (if you want to figure out THAT meaning).
